Zakiah Williams August 12, 2009 Internet Technologies R.I.P Manifesto This is an interesting artic. This article was a bout a movie. It was made by a web film maker, named Brett Gaylor. He is also a activist. The movie by a musician. A lot of the musician’s music is sample based. Probably, in the last twenty years people have been remixing songs and sampling songs from past music. Some people would say it is a little unoriginal. People feel that music should be original and authentic. The music should be from the heart and from your own experiences. I feel like when people sample or remix song, they are giving praise to the artist before them. Sampling some one songs, are like a tribute them. some times people have a connection to the song, and they want to put there own twist to it. This is to make the music there own. The author is also a video blogger, he works with the youth also. I think his motives are to inform and educate his young viewers and readers, on current events. That is where the activist comes out. It is important for people to use there platform to inform people. This film was said to be an experiment to see what people’s reaction will be. I the film is called R.I.P., because the sampling are dying down. People are making a new sound to music. That was in the past, and music like it is in the past also. This is a new time in society and in the world and things are changing . As a result those things are changing. We need people to document and make note these things, like the filmmaker did.

Zakiah Williams Internet Technologies August 12, 2009 1000 True Fans This concept was based off of a view theories. The concept of this has a lot to do with the long tailed theory. That theory was based on the fact or concept that there is a overload, to the sales and the production of music on the internet. The author’s argument was that there is an overload on how people can sell and buy things on the internet. He argued that it was not as controlled as it is when it is bought and sold in a store. This relates with the 1000 true fans theory. It is about the overload of exploitation on people and their work. This theory is on the social network theories and how they are showcased. In this article, are that blogger are making money of the writers’ ideas. They are posting ideas, and having people respond. People are putting people in a situation were they are in a fish bowl, to be looked into. I think a lot of people have problems with these social networks. People are having problems with them, because are not communicating the way we use to. These social networks are making people less social and personal. Some people might say no one knows how to pick up the phone any more. It is the same with blogger, or myspace. You have so many people that view you as musician or as an artist, and you have people who are fond of you. I guess it is a smaller world of people. Is it the fact that people have a smaller audience, that people take to them more. I guess this article question how genuine people are, in these networks. I got the information from Novelr.com.
